P E R M A P U R® 5450 A/B Soft

Very clear PUR-casting resin

General information
®
PERMAPUR 5450 A/B Soft is a crystal clear 2-component polyurethane casting resin. After
reaction with the liquid hardener, it forms a soft (rubbery), transparent, weatherproof and UV
stable product. Therefore, this finished product is suitable for outdoor encapsulation
applications. Both A and B component are solvent free.

Special features
PERMAPUR® 5450 A/B Soft is specially developed for flexible applications. The finished
encapsulant has a high resistance against mechanical impacts, it remains colourless and
intact after prolonged exposure to UV radiation, it is waterproof and it is inert to a variety of
chemicals. Under proper processing conditions, the finished product is very homogeneous and
highly transparent, which makes it ideally suited for the transmission and refraction of light in
electronic devices.

Precautions
Surface treatment: all surfaces have to be dry, clean and grease free. Sand metals and
remove oxide film. Clean with eg. ethanol or acetone.

Preparation
In order to avoid air bubbles in the final product, both A and B component should be
processed under vacuum and dry conditions. When using mixing/metering equipment, place
the supply barrel under vacuum after (re)filling.

Mixing and casting
Always use the fixed mixing ratio indicated in the above table. The ratio is given by weight.
During mixing, the product will become cloudy. This is a normal effect, due to a slight
incompatibility of components. In due time, this effect disappears, and the product becomes
fully clear and transparent.
Good mixing is very important! However, make sure to avoid any bubbles in the product
during mixing. When mixing is done by hand, place the product under vacuum for a short
period of time, after mixing. Do not exceed the potlife. Once gelation takes place, the viscosity
increases, and further processing (casting, potting, coating etc.) is severely hindered.
Therefore, do not mix more material than can be processed. The reaction rate is influenced by
the parameters of the casting process. At higher content to surface ratios of the casted
product, the reaction is accelerated more. Thus, bulky devices take less time to fully react,
than thin layers do. If processed within the gelation time, the product is free flowing and can be
easily processed further, e.g. by pouring into a mould. After ca. 3 days, the reaction is
complete, rendering the product its final strength. Only the complete reacted product complies
with the table of finished product properties above. Do not expose incompletely reacted
product to exterior or damaging conditions.

Storage stability
Keep the containers closed and store preferably at room temperature. The shelf life is 6
months. Opened containers of hardener should be used asap. Under influence of moisture in
the air, the product’s reactivity will gradually decrease.

Packaging
- tins 1, 2,5 or 5 kg
- Jerry can 5, 10 or 25 kg
